Upon entering the church on Sunday morning, you will be greeted by parishioners who can direct you to worship services, Sunday school classes, childcare, or other areas.

More Ways to Connect

The principal Sunday worship service is the Holy Eucharist.

The Book of Common Prayer guides our liturgical services. Our varied service schedule provides opportunities to worship in diverse ways, from traditional to more contemporary. There is worship bulletin that will assist you through the service.

Childcare is offered on Sunday mornings for children ages infant through Pre-K from 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Our paid staff is trained in health and safety, and silent pagers are made available to parents of infants and toddlers. Please ask a greeter or usher for directions to the childcare rooms.

Sunday morning Christian Formation classes for children and youth meet most Sundays from 10 to 11 a.m. from September through May.

We rejoice that we can lift some of our restrictions and resume gathering in the ways we've longed to do. Read the full update using the button below.

Your support enables every worship service, outreach ministry, youth and children’s program, fellowship and formation event…in other words, all that we do!

Pledges are our largest source of annual funding. A pledge is an estimate for what a household plans to give financially over the course of the current year. Pledges are most helpful because they make it possible for Saint Paul’s to make a budget for the year.

To make a payment to your pledge, log in to realm.
